I'm having a problem where if I try to create a remote desktop using X11, my keyboard gets remapped quite oddly. (One key I've learned is that 'e' translates to 'backspace', for instance...) This does not happen if I just run a program remotely. It only happens if I try to run Xnest or Xephyr and then run a program inside that desktop. (So running xterm directly works fine, but running an xterm in a Xnest session doesn't.) My 'home desktop' (the one running the X11 server, that I'm trying to remote my FreeBSD desktop to) is OS X 10.6.6, running XQuartz 2.3.6. (The default Apple X11 server.) The FreeBSD machine is running 8.2-RELEASE (amd64). I do get an error when running Xnest or Xephyr. In Xephyr the error is: > Xephyr unable to use SHM XImages > expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadToggle: line 123 of inet In Xnest it is: > expected keysym, got XF86TouchpadToggle: line 123 of inet > Couldn't get keyboard. Any ideas on what's going on or how to fix it? Daniel T. Staal --------------------------------------------------------------- This email copyright the author.
